San Jose, October 19, 2016 — Illumeo, Inc. today announced the general availability of its cloud-based Expertise Management platform. Designed to ensure that every corporate professional can be an expert at their job, the platform delivers full-cycle professional development that directly helps companies build in-house expertise, and individuals take control of their careers.

Headquartered in San Jose, CA, Illumeo is the the leader in cloud-based Expertise Management solutions for the enterprise. These solutions combine the power of industry benchmarked corporate professional competency assessments and analyses, with both 3rd-party-expert and company-created and -presented courses and customized learning plans in a simple to use cloud-based platform that helps corporate professionals gain expertise that is directly beneficial to their companies and their careers.

Illumeo CEO, John Kogan noted “in today’s fast-paced business environment, it is too easy for individuals to stall in their roles, and for organizations to fail to get the best out of their workforce. Expertise Management ensures that professionals develop skillsets that help them thrive at their current job and build long-term career success. Sophisticated reports, dashboards and tools empower them to work directly with their managers to ensure every minute of effort is directed at needs that will be highly valued by their current company, and effective at building long, successful careers.”

Only half of all U.S. employees expect to be with their current company in 12 months, a sure sign that employers are suffering from undesirable turnover. Providing the tools and processes that help employees build successful and fulfilling careers is a leading strategy for boosting engagement and long-term commitment. And as worker productivity continues to stagnate, making the effort to build expertise empowers any organization to get ahead of the competitive curve.

Current corporate customers for Illumeo Expertise Management solutions include Cisco, Carnival Cruise Lines, and Metlife among many others. Solutions powered by Illumeo include full cycle Expertise Management covering corporate sales, marketing, HR and finance, Sales Enablement, Employee On-Boarding, and continuing professional education for more than two dozen professional certifications. Additionally, thousands of individuals from companies across all industries have enrolled in the Illumeo personal edition, gaining access to over 500 expert-authored and -presented courses, most of which provide valuable continuing education credits for certifications including CPA, CMA, IIA, SHRM and HRCI.

“The time is now for every professional to become an expert,” concluded Kogan. “With the Illumeo Expertise Management platform, every working professional can be an expert at their job, and every company can build expert teams, comprising professionals who are actively managing their expertise, delivering exceptional results for all. This is the future of professional development for working professionals and their companies.”
